Why?

"Yeah, those that cannot afford whatever the govt wants to charge get the heck out of the way. Only those who can afford what our govt mandates should have the right to fly..........he he he. Let them eat cake." " Fictitious Amazon internal memo"

Opens the sky for Amazon. Gets other drones out of the way to operating 89 lb Amazon drones @ 70 mph.

Thank you for answering! I value your opinion even if sometimes I do not always agree with it.

How do you know " that's never going to happen"? Are you assuming this? And why is it "appropriately so"? Wondering what your reasoning is with this statement?

Laws are words on paper and only have force if we believe in them and choose to abide by them. When we do not choose, the government is left with two choices: enforce the words with state violence or have its authority weakened with contempt by the People.

Maybe all these people who are incorrect cannot interpret the language. Language can have more than one meaning. example: I saw a man on a hill with a telescope. It seems like a simple statement until you begin to unpack the many alternate meanings: There’s a man on a hill, and I’m watching him...

So no cell service, no internet, in rural areas we can still take off or will we be bricked? After reading hundreds of comments from flight instructors, pilots, and seemingly intelligent people it appears to me that uav's will not be allowed to fly in rural areas that do not have cell and/or...

yeah.... carry a phone..... call the authorities.... and when they get there..... they can pry the phone from your cold dead hands.

i like this comment from an experienced pilot from the comment section of the federal register on drone Id rule. Comment from Brett Tossell The is a Comment on the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Proposed Rule: Remote Identification of Unmanned Aircraft Systems For related information...

I forgot to mention there are no government sanctioned wheels for the buggy yet, but the government will be contracting for these to become available in the near future and you will be able purchase these govt sanctioned wheels along with an annual fee.

My "Lincoln" analogy of this new "id" rule is this. We "drone pilots" have been riding a horse bareback for quite a while now and the government decides for safety reasons we can no longer do this. In fact riding on the back of a horse is dangerous so a new rule is proposed: we all must ride in...

It will also make people think about flying at all if anti drone people can know your location and info and wish to do you harm.
